Shrinking.

Over two years, visits went from 124M in November 2024 to a high of 265M in April 2026, fell to 213M in September 2026, and recovered to 226M in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Canva, which is why I also look at the market without it.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are down and name searches are level, so they don’t agree yet.

“ai resume builder” is searched about 60,500 times a month worldwide, 45% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai resume builder” until January 2023; interest then climbed to its peak in August 2025. Americans make 45% of the searches but only 10% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Brazil and Canada.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago, name searches holding steady, and the next six months look flat.

The fastest growers over the year, Kickresume and AI-Powered Career Platform, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by BeamJobs, lost most of their search visits (-91%).

SheetsResume -41%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Kickresume’s +23% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look flat.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months. November is usually a quieter month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 4 times.

The most visited is Canva, with 221 million visits a month, 98% of all visits.

Canva and Resume.io together hold 99% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 22 sites share 0.4%.

Canva alone has 98% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
